I found this lovely blog today, call Cartophile, which takes a look at all things map orientated (see what I did there?!?). There are too many examples to post, but here are some wonderful pieces that caught my eye this afternoon.
Map in your coffee
A beautiful and fun DIY project, perhaps?
A map made out of moustaches? Why not?

Now, I like things to be neat and tidy, but these table layouts by Carl Kleiner for Ikea are something else! Meticulously and accurately presented, they are delightful works of art!
If I had enough time, every surface in my house would look like this! Wonderful!

Look how adorable the Google Doodle is today! It’s in celebration of Nicolas Steno’s 374th birthday (why 374th?). Nicolas Steno was a pioneer in anatomy and geology.
Fittingly, today’s green-topped logo is rendered as rock strata with embedded fossils — reflecting twin ideas for which Steno is best known. The strata illustrate Steno’s “principle of original horizonality,” which essentially says that rock layers form horizontally — and only appear differently if later disturbances cause the deviation. And the fossils in the lower stratified rock help illustrate Steno’s “law of superposition,” which — simply put — says that the oldest rock layers are sequentially deposited on the bottom unless otherwise disturbed.

Eirik Solheim took 3888 images over the span of a year and combined them into this amazing photo. What a clever idea!
Just look how short Spring and Autumn are!
